Sundays aren't boring but are much of work!
Our housemaid must be giving us a wide smirk!
Today, I realized how much my house is vast...
Gosh! I have to do the cleaning fast
'Cause my dear house-maid rests this day
And we are obliged to do what Mom says
Still, there's two more rounds to dirty clothes
I and my sister are winding all the chores
"Please, make her come tomorrow" was all I prayed
I can't see you, where are you? I miss you my dear maid
Author's note :
I miss her so bad on Sundays. Today's the day.
I just wrote it in a quirky way. But I swear I miss her every Sunday.

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.

FROM THE HEART THAT IS THE STORY NEW TITLE
Aww! That's so heartwarming ❤️This poem is honestly so relatable! You've nailed the chaos of a chore-filled Sunday in such a funny way. I love how it goes from feeling a bit overwhelmed to missing your maid like a best friend—it’s such a quirky, true-to-life vibe! Sundays just aren’t the same without her, right?
"You are so kind, sister! I don't think anyone respects their maid this much; you are truly a very kind and good person. When your maid reads this, her eyes might fill with tears. A wonderful poem dedicated to someone special.💫💥👍✨
My maid is the best thing I have..a beautiful soul with no complains. Very creative and it touched my heart
Maids are hardworking people 😊😊
